LOS ANGELES, CA – From the city to the
country, families from coast-to-coast will experience an uplifting
coming-of-age adventure when Anchor Bay Entertainment unleashes My Dog
the Champion on DVD. The inspiring story of an unlikely friendship
between a born-and-bred teenage city girl and a cattle dog, the new feature
film starring Dora Madison Burge (“Dexter,” “Friday Night Lights,” Cowgirls
‘n Angels), Lance Henriksen (Aliens, The Terminator, Aliens vs.
Predator) and Cody Linley (“Hannah Montana,” Cheaper by the Dozen)
makes its national retail debut on February 4, 2014.

A moving and meaningful story for the
whole family, My Dog the Champion (SRP $24.98) begins when
Madison (Burge), a spoiled city teen, learns that her
mother is being deployed to Afghanistan. She is suddenly forced to uproot to
the country and live on her grandfather Billy’s (Henriksen) cattle ranch – in
the middle of nowhere. Facing the hardships of farm life and her feelings of
loneliness, she befriends Scout, the farm’s old and “useless” cattle dog. The
new companions quickly form a special bond. And when the family farm becomes
threatened, Madison, with some help from Eli (Linley), a teenage dog trainer,
trains Scout to be an agility champion and together they compete with the hope
of saving their home. Side by side, the determined duo proves the heart of a
champion never dies.

My Dog the Champion, a
story of friendship, love, teamwork, and challenges, is a must-have release for
families nationwide. The film is executive produced by Arthur E. Benjamin, the
founder of the American DogRescue, an all-volunteer, non-profit organization that works to rescue
and promote the health and well-being of dogs and other animals all across the
world. In addition, Scout, the movie’s starring dog, is herself a rescue!

What an adorable movie about family, second chances, and taking chances.

When Madison's mom is deployed and her grandmother head to Russia, Maddie is sent to stay with her cattle ranch grandfather much to her dismay.

Without a signal, friends and a grandfather she barely knows, Maddie is "earning her keep" by working with her grandpa. While the city girl is learning to milk cows and cook dinner she befriends Eli a dog trainer who has recently given her grandfather a dog after he lost his beloved pooch to a cattle accident. Grandpa's other dog is still traumatized by watching his doggie friend's death but eventually comes to Madison. Madison meanwhile is attracted to Eli, played by Cody Linley of Hannah Montana fame and the two work together to train scout for an upcoming dog competition.

My kids and I loved this movie about family and they of course fell in love with the dogs.

So glad when wholesome movies and tv programs are made for families. I get so tired of movies that are ruined by throwing in swearing and inappropriate content, when the storyline would be so good without it.
